"Brother-in-law, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to publish this military and political separately together, right? Those important members who are now in charge of the ruling side will probably be dissatisfied with their brother-in-law. ”

Xiao Wu has her own unique opinions on some things, but there are some things that she is not as good as Li Hao, who came from later generations, so she can't see it clearly, in this piece, she only sees Li Hao's suggestion to move the cheese of those important people.

"No, not only will they not be dissatisfied with me in the future, but they will also thank me. At present, the construction of the wide cement road in Datang is growing rapidly every year, and the convenient transportation has made the transportation of various materials more convenient. It is necessary to separate the military and the government, which is actually beneficial to the imperial court and those feudal officials. ”

The benefits of the wide cement road, Li Er and the Tang Dynasty can now feel the benefits, so they have become more and more enthusiastic about overhauling the cement road. Several important trunk lines in Datang are now being built with spacious cement roads.

The emergence of new four-wheeled carriages has also made transportation more convenient, and the carrying capacity has increased a lot. This also greatly accelerated the circulation of materials, making some originally difficult things a lot easier.

Convenient transportation and material transportation make it less important for the army to manage the place autonomously. Therefore, it is also necessary to separate the military and the government from the local government, and if the local officials have too much power, this is also a destabilizing factor.

Of course, if Datang does not have transportation that can move quickly, the separation of military and political affairs will be half of the pros and cons, but if all the cement roads in Datang are repaired and the national strength is strong, then the separation of military and political affairs is necessary, so that the armed forces of local rebellions can also be cut off.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in charge of civil and military reclamation in Zhou County, and the guards of the military government were in charge of the military. However, there are also pros and cons to separating the military from the government, and the key depends on what the people and the emperor do.

That's why Li Hao will come out with the whole spiritual civilization and material civilization, and preach more loyal and patriotic thoughts. When these things worked, if the Tang Dynasty was not so rotten that people despaired, it would be difficult for those small group of conspirators to gather a large number of people for them to drive in a short time.

There are no absolutes in everything, Li Hao is just trying to adapt some means in his own cognition. Strive to make the Han people stronger, and I hope that the Han people will not fall into the kind of conspiracy to kill each other for some conspiracy and profit.

"Erniang, why did you come here so fast this time?"

The Spring Festival is approaching, Li Hao, as a local dignitary, and he doesn't have to go back to Chang'an to report on his work, Li Hao is actually much easier. When the family sat together to eat and chat, Li Hao teased several of his children, taking turns to coax and play, and no one was left out in the cold. This made Li Hao's women more and more relaxed, and Wu seemed to be a little curious to ask his second daughter, as if the time to come back this time was much shorter than the time to go.

"I took the fast line this time, except for staying at night, I only had a little rest during the day when I was eating, so the speed was a lot happier, and it only took a few days to come here." Xiao Wu replied very casually, and the people in the house all had a feeling of confusion, even Li Hao was in this form.

"Now the road from Canton to the north has been widened a lot, and there are a few horse-drawn carriages side by side, and there are also pedestrian routes. So the speed was much faster, and the carriage could travel a lot in an hour. ”

Xiao Wu looked at the people in the hall and saw that these people didn't understand, so he hurriedly explained again. "Because there are a lot more businessmen going south now, Hongmen's car dealers have now launched horse-drawn carriages on the fast line."

"This kind of carriage can seat several people in a car, and it can also be chartered. However, this kind of car does not rest during the day, and it does not pick up and drop off passengers on the way. Hongmen set up a carriage and horse shop on the road, and after running for an hour, the horses will be replaced once and continue to move forward, and it is not a problem to travel hundreds of miles a day, so it is a lot of happiness to come here. ”

Eh, Li Hao shook his head after hearing this, and smiled bitterly, this is the so-called direct express in the future, I didn't expect those guys in Hongmen to toss these things out. However, this is also good, and when the north-south travel becomes shorter, the number of trips will also increase.

"It's a carriage with people, and I've heard that the wagons that pull goods run for a shorter time. Some valuable and light goods can arrive in Chang'an in five or six days, so now many fruits and vegetables in the south can be seen in Chang'an, and the price is not low. ”

Xiao Wu has been running between Chang'an and the south in the past two years, and the transportation company in Hongmen already has shares in the Li Mansion, so these changes are very clear.

Fast lanes, slow lanes, and acceleration lanes, plus two-way separation. These things were instilled in Li Hao to those who built roads when he was building roads, so the roads here have always been built in this way.

Now the section of the road from the south to Tanzhou and the Yangtze River, and the section of the road from Chang'an after crossing the river, can be regarded as the first highway developed by Datang, and Li Hao and Li Ke have spent a lot of effort in the middle.

Seeing that the role of this road is now greater, Li Hao's mood has also changed a lot. With the appearance of such a major arterial road, the southern side will become closer to the Central Plains.

Originally, it took several months to travel from the south to Chang'an, because after these changes, the time was shortened, and the road was not so hard and dangerous, which made people from the north more interested in running to the south, and the exchanges would become more frequent.

Coupled with the development of trade and development in the south, sea transportation and ocean trade, as well as the slave trade, and the expansion of manpower and material resources, this made Li Hao's large-scale development of the south easier and easier, because the manpower would become more and more abundant.

The first ocean trip to the south from the south was very smooth, not only successfully selling the goods brought by the south at a high price, but also buying a lot of things that Datang lacked at a low price, which also made those who followed Li Hao to join the ocean trade make a lot of money.

Therefore, the follow-up voyage is becoming more and more exciting, and the scale is constantly expanding. Their second round of ocean-going trade is timed, and it should be that this day will come back.

The first voyage is a way exploration, and some places need to build stations, and how to arrange them, these will be calculated. In addition to continuing to trade with those Fanyi, the second ocean should also operate these places as the garrison of the Tang people, so as to facilitate future exchanges.

The number of ships departing for the second time has also doubled, and the number of people accompanying them has also expanded considerably. For Far Eastern trade, they now have no shortage of people and no shortage of ships.

As the shipyards in Quanzhou and Guangzhou became more and more technologically sophisticated, Far East Trade opened a third shipyard on Qiongzhou and a fourth shipyard on Ryukyu Island.

Due to the short distance, the return time of the northbound route is much earlier than that of the southern route, and now it is the third trip. The business here can also make a lot of money, in addition to the special production capacity from those places to make a lot of money, these places also have a lot of minerals that are lacking in the south.

The glass, mirrors, and soaps produced by Datang are very popular with the people of the island country and the people of the sticks.

The Zhoushan Islands, Zodo Island, and Jeju Island, all of which were now occupied by the Far East Trade fleet, were now their own territory. Then began to build a base on it, storing all kinds of goods.

"Alas, the population is still too small!" Although Li Hao came to the Tang Dynasty, the population base of the Tang Dynasty had actually grown almost twice as fast as in history, but these still could not meet Li Hao's needs.

There is no way, the territory of Datang is too big, and the population is not enough to 100 million now, how can this population be enough for Li Hao to expand everywhere? In the south, men and women are now married and have children as soon as they reach adulthood. And for every child born, the government has various rewards, but despite this, the ones that the population can really use still can't meet Li Hao's needs.

As soon as he came to Lingnan Dao, he adopted this method, and if he wanted to really play a role, he would have to wait for at least ten years. There is still so much time in between, and Li Hao's footsteps naturally can't stop.

"It looks like it's time to start the Eastward Plan." Li Hao's eastward expansion plan is aimed at Fusang, many years ago Li Hao buried a crack in Li Er's heart, the king of Fusang is called the Emperor, which is disrespectful to Li Er.

Although Li Er has not acted vainly with Fusang over the years, his attitude towards Fusang is not so good, especially Fusang's side does not take Li Er's words seriously at all, and their king is still called the emperor.

They feel that they are overseas, and the people of Datang can't find their country, so they don't worry about these at all. It's just that they didn't think that someone had been thinking about this place for a long time, and they were in a hurry.

In fact, the people of the island country and the stick country are also a race that evolved after the passing of the people in the east a long time ago, but under the influence of a small group of bad elements, they have slowly prepared to break away from the east, so they will use their own words and cultures.

And their race is not much different from Datang, Datang lacks population, can Li Hao not worry about them? As long as all the civilizations in these places are destroyed, only the writing and culture of the Tang Dynasty are allowed, and then all their women are snatched over, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are allowed to breed.

Those who are not satisfied with the Datang script and civilization are all wiped out, so won't Datang have another batch of manpower to come out after many years? You must know that Li Hao is most lacking now is this. There were more cards in his hand that hadn't been fully played, no population had taken those places, everything was empty.

"After the Spring Festival, let's go around Qiongzhou together, where the weather is much warmer than Guangzhou, and there are all kinds of fruits to eat."
